About this property
Rook Cottage · Great Gutton Farm
Rook Cottage offers double and twin room accommodation.
Part of the west wing of our farmhouse, Rook is a light and comfortable cottage, which holds onto its rural charm with just a hint of contemporary magic. The lime-washed sitting room boasts a large woodburner, two comfortable sofas, wooden floor and bright cushions and throws. A TV, DVD and CD player are provided for entertainment.
The adjoining dining room has natural slate floors and a table which seats four people. A well-fitted kitchen offers lovely views over the pond, which is home to ducks and moorhens. Rook is equipped with mod cons throughout, including dishwasher, fridge-freezer, hob, oven, microwave and washing machine.
Upstairs, in the double room, there is a traditional style iron bed with the deepest mattress ever. Whilst there isn’t a straight wall or even floorboard in the room, it’s a haven for a good nights sleep. Next door, the twin room has a raised built in bed with a single alongside. For those feeling less adventurous, the groundfloor single can be pulled out to form a double bed, although it does take up much of the floor space – it’s just another option if needs be. The raised bed is accessed by sturdy pull out steps. Underneath is the “Den”, which is a perfect hideaway for little ones and has even been used for sleeping in on occassions!
There is also a bright and cheerful shower room with power shower, washbasin and WC. Outside, Rook has its own slate patio with table, chairs and barbecue facilities.
Rook has intercommunicating doors with Drake Cottage next door enabling you to combine the two cottages to sleep up to ten in 5 bedrooms.
Towels and bed linen are included. There is free wifi available.
No smoking inside any of our properties. .
Well behaved pets are allowed to stay in Rook Cottage. We charge £25 per stay for each pet.
Rook is one of five self-catering cottages at Great Gutton. At the farm we have a large indoor heated swimming pool and games room with DVD library, pool and table tennis tables and skittle ally.
Booking all or a combination of cottages enables a maximum group size of twenty two with opportunities to eat and socialise as one group. Great for special birthdays, family get togethers or simply to meet up with old friends.
Great Gutton Farm offers you a chance to escape, relax and unwind. About 40 minutes from both the North and South coast and with Exmoor and Dartmoor nearby it s a great place to start exploring from. The busy market town of Crediton is nearby and Exeter is only 20 minutes away with its historic quayside and superb shopping facilities. All the five Great Gutton Farm properties have well equipped kitchens and there is free Wifi in and around all. Offering 3, 4 and 7 night stays throughout the year, we look forward to welcoming you to our charming 16th Century Devonshire farmhouse.

About the host
Hosted by Suzi Morgan
The Morgan family moved into Great Gutton in 2009, slightly nervous of what we had taken on, but excited at the thought of what we could do. Since then we have finished the bulk of the renovation work & now seem to be starting again! With 4 kids, assorted dogs, chickens & sheep, life is never dull & we love to see folk enjoying their stays here as much as we love living here. There's all sorts to do & all sorts of ways to spend your time; Beaches, Moors, Culture, Traffic pubs, lovely walks, old stuff/new stuff and everything in between. Great Gutton is also a great place to just chill & relax. In recent years we have seen more & more folk come to us as part of a celebration, a gathering or just to be together. Our indoor heated pool open all year round is the icing on the cake!
